They are expensive but if you are a full timer (or serious weekend warrior) that spends every single day driving hundreds of miles then it’s worth it. They are incredibly adjustable and supportive. Or if you have back problems. Most people don’t need them IMO.

Yeah OP if you can afford it (or if you are handy and can do it yourself) the axle swap is the way to go. Many many benefits. Not just the turning radius, but bigger brakes and massively improved ride.
I see some donor trucks in my area with blown 6.4s that can be had for under 3k. Selling the...
I agree. If you’re going to drop 200k on this thing then might as well spend an extra 25 and make it decently reliable. It’s not an insane proposition to do a Cummins swap.

Not sure what your budget is but NuCamp makes a 620 that fits in an F150. Probably more expensive than any of those you listed though.

I assume your truck is a SRW? If so, then I’d try to stick with the lightest, newest possible 2500 series Bigfoot. 50k can buy a nicer used one. Be careful with weight though. They are awesome campers but heavy as heck.

Unvaccinated 65+ year olds are 15 times more likely to die from Covid compared to vaccinated 65+ year olds. So it’s not really fair to say that the two groups are the same.

40k seems like a fine amount to me. Used vans can be found for 15k ish and the conversion from U Joint will be another 25k with parts and labor. Of course if you want to add things like bumpers, ladders, etc then it will be more but you can definitely find a van and have u joint make it 4x4 for...
This thing is sweet. Turnkey rigs are an awesome idea. Are there any plans to offer them through ford with a warranty like Quigley? I ask because then you can do things like finance the full cost of the vehicle with a normal car loan.
Additionally, it would be awesome to do this with something...
Great build! I always feel like the hardest part of any Ambo build is the removal of the extra wiring and cabinetry. Once you get it down to the bare box it’s pretty easy because it’s just straight up and down walls.

Personally if you want the best of both worlds, I would just buy a second set of wheels for the other set of tires and change/mount them yourself. All you need is a basic jack. With an impact wrench it can be done in like 20 mins.

I’ve been dreaming of doing the same to my 2000 7.3. But I figured the 10-15k it would cost to pay the shop wouldn’t be worth it. I’m torn between a standard suspension lift, a coil swap, and then a full axle swap. Make sure to start a thread with the results.

Sweet rig! I have a 2000 F350 7.3 myself and I am looking to do something similar. Why did you go with the true trac instead of a locker? Just because you don’t need to engage it? I feel like they cost around the same.
Also what’s the name of the light bar thing you have on the front bumper...
Wehring.
Being an expert on F450/550 wheels and tires, are there any other tire choices with the 5k+ weight rating that are better in the snow than the MPPT81? Seems there are a lot of benefits to using a rig like this but I’m worried about the snow performance of these military tires.
